“A direct swap with the Dubowitz family. We stayed in Pognana for a week and we loved it. We are family of four and the swimming pool, pizza oven and the house was all that we hoped for and more. Communication with Daniel was tip-top and his friend Julian took good care of us. Pognana and Fivizzano are really nice places and a lot of things to do there. The house it self is a true adventure. Daniel and Jenny have done a great job there and you can see that they have put a lot of effort in it. They stayed in our apartment in Reykjavík and when we came back our apartment was unspotted. Would definitely do another swap with them any time.”

About our home
Our house is a spacious and historic home with a pool, garden and very popular giant pizza oven in a quiet, friendly village. Pognana sits in the lush green hills of Lunigiana, in northern Tuscany. Untroubled by tourist crowds yet close enough for day trips to Florence, Pisa, Genoa and Parma, the village is close to the Cinque Terre and in the foot hills of the Apuane (part of the Apennine) mountains and nature reserve surrounded by olive groves and chestnut forests with river swimming and great walks and cycling. Please note the house is usually only available for rental June, July, August but we will sometimes do swaps for gaps/cancellations closer to the time. We are looking for swaps at the moment as we are new to 'lovehome', they do not need to be at the same time. June 16-24 2019 we are looking for a New York City apartment, and in July, August and December 2019 we are looking for somewhere for a week or long weekends travelling from Manchester UK. Summer 2020 something further a field for 2-3 weeks, perhaps Japan....
